Re: What color is this lovebird?/pic3

Yes I'm keeping the little dovie. I live in eastern Missouri.

Oh yes, lovebird mutations are fun. Some day I may even be able to identify
more than 3 or 4 correctly. LOL I have pied, dutch blue, olive, blue series
Australian cinnamon, lutino and creamino down pat. Only 30 or 40 more color
mutations to go. . . ahahahahaha

I have a friend who always calls Dutch blue birds dilute, that's why I was
asking if dilute was Dutch blue.

Yes that pied is a darling. I have another bird that is going to be a lime
green color with an orange face. I have no idea what that mutation is
called. It's a cinnamon too because it has cinnamon flights.
